Research and Recovery

I went back there today and worked on some more of the field.
As you can see my efforts did not go unrewarded.
I found two more of those metal bands with the eyelet on the end and one had a link of the chain stuck in it as you can see.
I dont know how old those shoe taps are and that big thingy looks alike a breast plate for a horse bridal but I dont know.

Good finds. Those metal rings/bands are from an old musket, probably a Enfield.

"How do you know this?" you may ask...

Here is a picture of a Civil War Era Enfield Musketoon. Take note of the two bands that hold the wood and barrel together.

are those ring bands worth anything?
and what about that piece that looks like a trigger guard.
Ian
how about you bring your butterfly coil with you and you can be the second lucky man to hit this field.
I will trade these ring bands each for a silver dime.
I have three of them
